Artifact Weapon Issue - Getting fed up of being robbed by this game...

Ok, I'll try to explain this clearly. I have been doing the Tyranny of Dragons Artifact Weapon Box on my Devoted Cleric Character. The weapon I am after is the one which boosts the Astral Seal Healing effect.

After 20 hours of the first attempt, the first box offers me the Level 70 Elemental Fire Artifact Weapon (adds Temp HP when casting Sacred Flame - not even my Paragon) or the level 60 box. So I take the level 60 box and it gives me the same weapon effect so I salvage it at least for the Shard of Dragon Forged Steel so now I have two shards - one from the box and one from salvaging the level 60 weapon with the useless power (I know I can choose the level 60 Artifact Weapon I want with 6 Shards).

I get the stuff for a second box (Dragon Bone, Dragon Gem and Dragon Forged Steel) and start the campaign task again. Another 20 hours and once completed, it offers me the SAME level 70 Elemental Fire weapon so again I take the Level 60 box. The level 60 Artifact Weapon AGAIN has the same Sacred Flame effect so again I salvage it. Now I have 4 Shards of Dragon Forged Steel.

Last attempt at the Artifact box. Get the stuff (Bone, Gem, Steel), another 25,000 Astral Diamonds and start the task again.

This time 20 hours later when I open the box it offers me the Elemental Fire Level 70 Artifact Weapon which boost Astral Seal Healing - YAY!! Its not the level 60 one but hell I'll take it and live with it until I get her to 70.

So I decided to take this level 70 weapon instead of the level 60 version and there was about to be celebrations all round UNTIL I accepted the weapon. It drops into my inventory with a DIFFERENT bloody power !!! (boost all casts of Lance of Faith - not what I wanted at all nor what I accepted). So the only choice left is to salvage the bloody level 70 weapon, get the shard and then go buy the level 60 one which boosts Astral Seal.

To my horror and absolute disgust, I now discover that the box did not give be a Shard of Dragon forged Steel with the Level 70 Weapon (as it does when you take the level 60 box).

I only have 5 shards of Dragon Forged Steel.

So now I have no Artifact Weapon and not enough shards to buy the Astral Seal buffing Artifact Weapon I wanted.

WHY did it offer me the level 70 Elemental fire Weapon with the Astral Seal buff and then change the buff when putting it into my inventory?????? Even after all the money I have spent on Neverwinter this is about to make me delete the game right off my Xbox.

First off you don't want the level 60 artifact weapon the new level 70 artifact weapons are way better and to change the at-will bonus u just have to use the cubes of augmentation from wondrous bazaar. The old artifact weapon is obsolete when 70 because u get the better one from finishing spinward rise.

It can only offer what there is. There is only one level 70 weapon. You change the feats by using cubes from the Wondrous Bazaar.

Wow, you could have just accepted the level 70 weapon the 1st time around and avoided this problem

A few Cubes of Augmentation, as the previous posters mentioned, would have gotten you the power you wanted (eventually in some cases lol). Also since mod 6 dropped for the xbox there is no longer a need to actually get an artefact weapon through the ToD campaign any more.
